It was as if they contained all the knowledge, history, and secrets of this world, containing the entire operating logic of all things in the mortal realm. Looking into his eyes, Alex felt a creeping horror, as if peeking at the naked truth of the world, feeling small and exposed. That feeling was incredibly uncomfortable, nauseating, like being drowned in a vast sea of knowledge, having one's throat strangled, unable to breathe, unable to call for help.
